He returned once more and found the disciples asleep; they could not keep their eyes open.

The bridegroom was late in coming, so they began to nod and fall asleep.

While I slept, my heart was awake. I dreamed my lover knocked at the door. Let me come in, my darling, my sweetheart, my dove. My head is wet with dew, and my hair is damp from the mist.

Then he returned and found the three disciples asleep. He said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Weren't you able to stay awake for even one hour?"

Peter and his companions were sound asleep, but they woke up and saw Jesus' glory and the two men who were standing with him.

Rising from his prayer, he went back to the disciples and found them asleep, worn out by their grief.

Peter answered, "I will never say that, even if I have to die with you!" And all the other disciples said the same thing.

Get up tomorrow morning at sunrise and make a sudden attack on the city. Then when Gaal and his men come out against you, hit them with all you've got!"

David answered, "Abner, aren't you the greatest man in Israel? So why aren't you protecting your master, the king? Just now someone entered the camp to kill your master.

You failed in your duty, Abner! I swear by the living LORD that all of you deserve to die, because you have not protected your master, whom the LORD made king. Look! Where is the king's spear? Where is the water jar that was right by his head?"

King Ahab answered, "Tell King Benhadad that a real soldier does his bragging after a battle, not before it."
